gender neutral

I have found my new favorite neutral. Not everything has to be gray, but we’re not ready to embrace beige (and I hope we never are), so instead I’ve discovered that a deeper, earthy brown like Army Blanket Brown can become a perfect, cozy backdrop. I played around with so many color schemes that would have worked incredibly well with this shade of brown, from bold and bright color blocks to modern and minty pastels, but really fell for this neutral combination with warm gold and wood tones.

As usual, we have a whole Pinterest board full of additional options and products to fill this space further.

I was looking for a shade of green from Lullaby Paints for our first nursery board of the spring and from the swatches on their website, Citron jumped out at me. You might be intimidated by this bright, bold green but I did my son’s toddler room with a similar shade so I know from experience that with enough light and white in the room, it’s a very livable and pleasant color!

The only problem I had with Citron was that on different websites, the color looked very different so I wasn’t sure exactly which shade I’d be working with. This can happen a lot when looking at colors on your computer monitor, so before you ever finalize your paint choices, get an actual sample and try it in the space where you’ll be using it. This is the only accurate way to find out how a paint shade will look under the lighting conditions in your home.

We have tons of other ideas for your Citron nursery on our Pinterest board so if you need more art choices, additional accessories or even different lighting and furniture options, we’ve got you covered.

For our latest nursery board with Lullaby Paints, I selected French Blue. It’s a beautiful, versatile blue that can be used with many decor styles. French Blue is bright enough to make an impact but not so bold that it’s dark or overwhelming. Obviously, I ignored the “French” part of the name and not surprisingly steered far away from toile patterns. Instead, I used bold, bright, modern colors and shapes.

The colors I selected to go with Amber Bamboo finish of the furniture were inspired by the Triangle Print Wallpaper from Kate Zaremba Company. A nursery is a perfect place to use a fun removable wallpaper. Before you get bored with a pattern, it’ll be time to redecorate for your big kid. Kate Zaremba has a few fun patterns that you’ll adore until then.

For this final board of 2014, we’ve got a beautiful warm Suede paint in this winter woodland nursery, perfect for keeping the winter babies cozy at home. As usual, the items on the Winter Woodland Nursery Inspiration Pinterest board are just as great as what we’ve included here, so if you enjoy this scheme, please visit the board for more items to consider.

I cringe when people act like green and yellow are the only two gender neutral nursery options. I think that a majority of our nursery boards are gender neutral, but I’ve really found people who think that if they’re not going with pink or blue, their only wall color choices are yellow or green.

I work with shades of green from time to time, but I generally stay away from yellow. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with it, I just had an overdose of yellow a few years back. We moved into this house when I was 6 months pregnant. It was clean and move-in ready, but all the walls throughout (minus the bedrooms and bathrooms) were painted a sunny yellow. It was a bright shade that made it look like the morning sun was shining right in, even on a cloudy day, but it was impossible to decorate around. After about a year we were able to paint it all away and I’ve shied away from yellow walls since.

Despite my color overdose, yellow is a great color if you choose it. Morning Sunrise from Lullaby Paints is a nice soft, buttery shade that is a beautiful backdrop for this fresh nursery.

If you’re going to go with this scheme and need more pieces and options to fill the space, there are lots more perfect choices on our Pinterest board!

We’ve been playing around with the inspiration for this summery nursery on Pinterest throughout the month of August. Joyful Green is a bright blueish green that’s not too rich and not too dark. I wanted to keep it bright by using light colored furnishings and accessories. This board came together perfectly, but if you’re looking for alternative furniture or decor options, we’ve got tons more great ideas on the Pin board.
